2 VpCI Technology for Food, Beverage, and Pharmaceutical Industries The food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries are some of the most important industries in the world economy according to their production extent, their number of consumers, and their economic and social significance. Technological advances in food processing, equipment, and production plants are growing rapidly yet corrosion is a costly issue that impacts these industries. The economic effect of corrosion is the loss of billions of dollars that companies are saddled with every year. For companies involved in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, corrosion prevention is non-negotiable. In these manufacturing industries, corrosion can derail an entire operation, causing enormous financial losses and, far worse, dangerous accidents. Corroding equipment requires costly repairs and can contaminate the product it contains. Unique challenges faced by food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries must be addressed with extreme cautiousness by experienced professionals. Very complex technical systems used by manufacturers of food or pharmaceutical products require reliable protection. Not only must the legal requirements for hygiene be adhered to, but occupational health and safety guidelines as well. Advances in the food industry, such as preservation, packaging, and storage, facilitate food delivery and minimize health hazards. Among other materials, aluminum, tin, copper, titanium, and mainly stainless steel are widely used in these industries for the manufacture of processing, production, storage, and transportation equipment and machinery. Thankfully, modern science has developed new corrosion protection methods such as patented Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors (VpCIs) that enable these very delicate industries to safely protect their systems from this destructive force of corrosion.

3 FOOD INDUSTRY CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENTS Three types of cleaning and sanitation agents are applied in the food industry, creating corrosive environments: 1. Alkaline: such as caustic soda (NaOH), alkali phosphates (Na 3 PO 4 ), sodium carbonate and bicarbonate (Na 2 CO 3, NaHCO 3 ) 2. Acidic: phosphoric, citric, and sulphamic acids 3. Oxidizers: chlorine, nitric acid, ozone, hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) THE CORTEC BIO PRODUCTS VISION Cortec will continuously improve the environmental performance of our products and processes to provide a better world for future generations. The cornerstone of Cortec s history and future is based on the production of superior products to protect various metals from rust and corrosion. Our products exemplify Cortec s long-standing commitment to conserve our natural resources. We take the responsibility of conserving our natural resources seriously we develop Cortec products from annually renewable materials such as herbaceous plants like soybeans and coconut fruit from the palm tree species. Cortec offers a wide range of environmentally safe corrosion protection products that are USDA, FDA, and NSF compliant* and represent the best solution on the market for food and pharmaceutical industries. Cortec s VpCI inhibitors are created in science laboratories by chemists and engineers utilizing the latest technologies to provide contemporary, safe, and economical solutions for the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. *Contact Cortec for specific details

4 THE FOOD INDUSTRY Food industry plants involved in the processing and packaging of products must preserve capital investments and minimize operation costs. At the same time, physicochemical characteristics of processed foods give them different grades of corrosivity depending on content type. Processed foods contain diverse aqueous solutions, syrups, and additives used to improve food appearance, quality, and preservation. They have a wide ph range and varying salt, water, and vinegar content that impact food corrosivity. Many cleaning and sanitation agents are employed to remove bacteria, scale, fouling, and corrosive biological and mineral deposits. They include alkaline, acidic, strong or weak oxidizing and reducing chemicals to ensure a high hygiene level. This great variety of corrosive environments and aggressive chemical agents requires smart corrosion protection. Cortec VpCI Technology is the obvious choice for the food industry to prevent equipment damage and food contamination. VpCIs may be used in the food industry to protect cans, water tank containers, and exteriors of installations made with carbon and galvanized steel, concrete, or wood. THE BEVERAGES INDUSTRY The production of beverages involves the use of great quantities of water in cleaning, storage, and bottling procedures. Many beverages are acidic and aggressive to carbon steel, requiring the protection of equipment from corrosion. In addition, the wet, damp, and high humidity conditions contribute to plant corrosion and premature equipment failure.

5 THE PHARMACEUTICALS INDUSTRY The global pharmaceutical market is worth 300 billion dollars a year. Manufacturers of pharmaceutical products are subject to especially strict requirements because of the crucial importance of avoiding contamination. Cortec offers a wide and economically attractive product range of safe, FDA compliant*, and USDA Certified Biobased products. Pharmaceutical manufacturers must protect their research, testing, and drug inventory under strict FDA standards. Beyond the normal safety and business continuity risks associated with system corrosion failure, pharmaceutical companies cannot tolerate any contamination risk in their systems. Cortec inhibitors conform to general requirements and high standards which production processes must meet. We develop and manufacture high-technology VpCI corrosion inhibitors and apply them using our own specially trained personnel. *Contact Cortec for specific details

6 Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors (VpCI ) VpCI Technology is an innovative, environmentally safe, cost-effective option for corrosion protection. Cortec products protect with a thin, mono-molecular protective barrier. The barrier re-heals and self-replenishes and can be combined with other functional properties for added protective capabilities. Cortec s VpCI additives offer safe, certified, highly efficient and economical corrosion protection for the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. While conventional corrosion inhibiting treatments provide protection in the liquid phase only, Cortec VpCl Technology provides corrosion protection in interface, liquid phase, and vapor phase. Unlike conventional corrosion inhibition methods, Cortec s VpCls are self-replenishing. Cortec VpCl s can be added into any part of the system at single or multiple points. As the pro-environmental corrosion treatment of the 21 st century, Cortec VpCl products are free of chromates, heavy metals, phosphates, or chlorinated hydrocarbons. Our organic formulations give an environmentally acceptable way to protect and extend the life of products and equipment.
